Hey all
I live in the Seal Beach, California area, and am planning to start freediving the area over the summer. From my internet searches, I believe the closest places to dive are at Crystal Cove and the Laguna Beach area (Shaws cove and Crescent Bay etc.).
I drove down to the area today and saw how crowded Laguna can get, especially on the weekends, however Crystal Cove seems like a very large state beach. Has anyone been to Crystal Cove that can give me pointers - Which entrance is best to use?, which side is best for freediving?, etc. Also if anyone knows if they close the gates at anytime during the day or if they are open year-round, etc.
Thanks,
Jimmy
